A mutual commitment is required to survive the relationship. Sometimes we are committed but our personality type stops us to take decision for us. A thorough psychological assessment and guided counseling would definitely help you.

Hi Nayan, Its understandable to feel hopeless when your family isnt supportive of your relationship. Try having an open conversation with your parents, be patient as they adjust, and seek support from someone you trust. With time and understanding, things may improve.

It's understandable that you're feeling hopeless. Balancing family expectations and your relationship can be overwhelming, especially when cultural differences are involved. You've built a strong bond with Bharath over five years, and it's important to acknowledge that.Consider having an honest, empathetic conversation with your family. Share your feelings and commitment to Bharath, while also understanding their concerns. Sometimes, fear of the unknown fuels resistance, but time and communication can help bridge that gap.If you need further support, feel free to book a session to discuss this in more detail.

Hi Nayan! You and your parents need a family therapy on this. This can not be resolved with one on one as your symptoms of hopelessness are dependent on a specific situation created by parents, and not genetic. Know that marriage is a very important decision for both of you. Imagining your life with him after marriage and without him will enhance clarity for your decision. Also communicate with your partner how your life will look like after marriage. Questions like living arrangements, family involvement in various celebrations, expectations- yours and his from each other, family planning, how will he support you and your family, things like this. This will not only enhance your clarity for this, but will also give you key points to assert your case with your parents.
